December 15, 200816 yr comment_41184 my first ride on blivvy had me with a soaking face by the end of it.And the nemesis mist just drips too much from the ceiling and track.
December 15, 200816 yr comment_41231 my first ride on blivvy had me with a soaking face by the end of it.Woah, it was that good?!
December 16, 200816 yr comment_41315 Doubt it matters, a little bit of mist probably has no effect on solid concrete walls.
December 16, 200816 yr comment_41317 Damp-wise, is this good for the tunnels etc?I don't see any concrete buildings falling down due to rain..?
December 16, 200816 yr comment_41320 OMG, I do not believe you! A building will not fall down due to damp. But it can have serious effect on the walls, no so much that it's structurally putting anything or itself at risk.
December 16, 200816 yr comment_41326 Inside them, it may be doing a tiny bit of damage, but this is not visible to the naked eye.
December 16, 200816 yr comment_41330 But it can have serious effect on the walls, no so much that it's structurally putting anything or itself at risk.I wouldn't call getting them wet a serious effect.
December 22, 200816 yr comment_41696 tbh with you oblivion if I got my facts right was jsut a tester of a verticle drop ride and was the first so of course it wont be that long !!! plus its an original ride its great how it is
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41721 yeah, you're right. Its a prototype coaster. and so is air I think....Before the Huge american Giant B&M's are introduced, they make a small prototype in alton first. Which is lucly for alton I guess seeing as they have a height limit.
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41728 yeah, you're right. Its a prototype coaster. and so is air I think....Which is why I'm not looking forward to the next SW... it might be tamer than it could possibly be, and it's potential is lost.As for oblivion, I think it is a good ride, but now, the theming is just so boring. I know they won't, but Alton should really invest a year into turning this area into a clean cut, futuristic setting, because at the moment, it looks so bland, and 'fifties lab.' *yawn*
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41735 Which is why I'm not looking forward to the next SW... it might be tamer than it could possibly be, and it's potential is lost.It's not nessecerily going to be a prototype though...
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41736 Here is a picture from 11 years ago when Oblivion was under construction:(In Borat voice): Nice! :DI didn't realise this but the bloke in the queueline videos actually works at the park!
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41753 It's not nessecerily going to be a prototype though...But if Alton follow their whole: "Wowsa, I've never seen that done before," thing they do with the Secret Weapons, then it will probably be a whole new concept, which would require a prototype somewhere.
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41754 I didn't realise this but the bloke in the queueline videos actually works at the park!Does he? He's a slightly famous actor, got his own wikipedia page and website and has starred in a few well known telly programmes. Cant remember his name though.. Beth'll know!
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41756 I was at Alton Towers in October, and my mate spotted him working on Oblivion after seeing the video. I'd have never recognised him.
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41765 You're right, there's some videos of the Oblivion queueline on his website, Renny Krupinski.comAnd here's a picture from his site, you can tell it's him:
December 23, 200816 yr comment_41770 After emailing Alton Towers, I have received a response in which they tell me that however amusing, the team members name is not called Renny Krupinski and does not feature in the Oblivion Queueline Videos. They also told me that whoever told me is a berk.

They also told me that whoever told me is a berk.Gareth, you're a berk. But then why the hell are there video links on Renny's website?
December 24, 200816 yr comment_41864 Just like any other actor, he has videos on his website as samples of what work he has done, and as a showreel? Much the same as you having a CV.
April 20, 200916 yr comment_53424 Just wondering, Is there a stroryline behind Oblivion (like Hex and nemesis) becuase I can remember reading somewhere it had something to do with the millitary?!
